Another typical use case for containers is to run security-sensitive
|

applications such as a web browser. To run Eolie, we must expose and

share some files and directories; we include @code{nss-certs} and expose

@file{/etc/sll/certs/} for HTTPS authentication; finally we preserve the

the @code{DISPLAY} environment variable since containerized graphical

applications won't display without it.
